Tuesday I biked for 50 minutes, Wednesday I ran for 30 minutes and today I swam 3,000 yards in 55 minutes. Not as much as I was hoping to achieve because I was out of town AND had my period. I'll need to make up some workouts over the weekend.

Yesterday, I did another hour on the treadmill. Ate 'okay' but not perfectly.

I'm telling myself that no change is okay, it's when the numbers go up that it's a problem. I may go to the gym again today. It is open tomorrow, so maybe then, instead. I'm thinking I'll be better off when we go back to school Tuesday. Fewer opportunities to graze.

1 hour of pop cardio and pop videos from blogilates.com...I worked so that that bits of me were sweating that I didn't even know could sweat! My ass was so kicked today! I feel much better about everything ... Working extra hard this week

I have walked/ran 9 times this month. I may go out tonight also to make it an even 10. Usually go anywhere from 2 to 3 miles, less if I run more and farther if I walk more. My size 10 Old Navy Rock Star Skinnies are getting too big. Enough said.

Was a bit lazy this month and it shows in my tight clothes. Only worked out 14 days (not including my daily 250's).
My goal has been to work out at least 20 hours per month. This month it was only 17 hours but still not too bad.
Will try to do better in April.

Let's see ... Friday I went to a 45-minute spin class (followed by breakfast at Denny's). Saturday I biked 20 miles and yesterday I ran 5.5 miles. I lifted weights this morning and am planning on biking around 20 miles this afternoon.

Despite all this, I am feeling fat I had a crappy week of eating last week. Lots of traveling and my period. I think I ate every other meal at Panera! It's really discouraging that I will gain weight even with this amount of working out.

divegirl - I think it's so awesome how much you accomplish in one week! I aspire to be at your fitness level someday Period week sucks anyway, it's probably mostly bloating! It's a new week, with a fresh start!

sarah42 - heh, I wish I was as good as you avoiding the Easter candy... pleasedontlookathechocolateallovermyface

I've discovered the best way to avoid the Easter candy is to buy my teenage daughters other things for their baskets: each got a tank top, nail file, one smallish chocolate bunny, a little Coach wristlet from the outlet and a bag of m&ms to share. I dipped into the m&ms, but not badly.

Not a great weekend, only exercise was a good walk with the dogs after dinner last night. We basically had Thanksgiving for Easter dinner, so too much food, but I didn't make gravy or stuffing since I'm the only one who likes them.

Still, no gain, so okay. Tomorrow we go back to school, so it also starts another week. To the gym I will go!

It turns out I pulled a muscle in my back when lifting weights yesterday I biked 20 miles yesterday afternoon but when I woke up this morning, I could hardly get out of bed and couldn't stand up straight. I skipped my swim workout and am hoping I can still run this afternoon. This had better not derail me for too long!

I find that when I'm training hard, it takes up so much time that it's easy to end up grabbing food out somewhere because I don't feel like cooking. Not to mention that I'm hungry all the time when working out that much and it's easy to snack too much.
